YOUNG, ON SATUAI►AY *VINING LAST, AT THE DUBLIN THLATIti. Long has tho Stage with anguish inly mourned The loss of those who ott thtse Boards adorn'd ; Who fought and conquer'd, on these miinic plains, And held the Passions in their magic chains ; Here, CARRICK, Biittev,'Mo'ssoi, gave to view The vivid scenes immortal SuAx see A. its drew ; , Refin'd, inspir ' d, they felt his woncrnaus , flarne, And join'd the Aaor's with the Poet's name. Think not that I such Merit dare assume, Or place myself, vain glorious, in their room— Ah, no I with GAR SICK aaing was allied, • Our art grew feeble when its Master died. But yet, 1 feel that he who ne'er aspit 'd To proud distinaion, never yet was fir'd ; He, whom no hopes of future fame attend; Though not receding, still can never mend ; His prospea bounded, no ambition moves, No audience hatters, and no friend approves. The warrior youth who fancies that he sees StandardiandtrOphies float on every breeze, Imagines conquest, though no battle nigh Hails himself viClor in his mental eye. Thus, then, my mind some scenic triumph forms, And anxious hope my every etlbrt Warms. What my claims are, I now subMit to you, Who both can judge with truth and mOcy too; Who well can rate what merit I possess, And though but little, will not make it less. Accept my thanksforall your kindness past; Andsfor this Night';, the'greatest and the last. Should lib•cal fortune send me here once more, To meet fresh favouri on your gen'rous shore; With eager hope, the promis'd joy I'll seize, And bring, if nut the pow'r, the wish to 'please: , A new Farce is fat-than - fling at Covent-Garcieis Theatre, written bra popular' Dramatist, and it is to have the additional recommendation of some ['ai sle from Mr. CoitiALL, Whose taste and science are well knOwri. Tne ti OPERA-N.ol.—h iS to be hoped that the distinguished . Charaaers who lately assembled fer the purpose of erecting a new Opera House, will desist froth so very imprudent a measure in the present situation of :ants: If they have - .more money than they know what to clo'with, they have an opportunity of shewiug their generosity and pa triotiqm together., by supporting the rational and manly amusements of the British Drama, rather than encourage a troop of squalling Foreigners, most of whom are to be regarded as spies, and who 'will be ready enough to injure this country as, soon as they' have quitted it. The property. of. Drury-lane Theatre, it is well known, has long been in a state. of great embarrassment, which all the prudence and all the diligence of the Trustees have. not been able to lessen in any considerable degree. Let, then, the No bleti tea and Gentlemen who were so ineonsiderate as to. think of patronizing anew estahiishownt for the introduthon of more of our enemies, combine to ex tricate Drury-lane Theatre from its present vexatious • predicament. Hence they would relieve.a vast body of people 4 open a new field for the exertion of na tive talents, and renovate that national amusement, which, properly managed, might tend to the im provement of taste and manners, 40d.the cultivation of those sentiments, principles, and virtues,: which would do honour to the British chardier. Such condu& on the part of - the great persons alluded to, would procure them the esteem and gratitude of their countrymen, who, if they persevere in the other foolish, mad, and mischievous plan, can only view them with contempt or pity. _The Two Gentlemen of Verona is in preparation ' flirrevivai at Covent Garden Theatre.
